Senator Bernie Sanders acknowledged on social media that "Elon Musk is right" about the Pentagon's wasteful spending. He criticized the Pentagon's $886 billion budget and its failure to pass audits, highlighting the need for reform. Musk, appointed by President-elect Trump to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), echoed Sanders' concerns about government spending. He emphasized the growing national debt, which has surpassed $36 trillion, and the need for efficiency in government operations. DOGE aims to address wasteful spending and improve accountability.
